The Feathered Coyote. > >It is at Walmart for 5 dollars. > >It has an interesting plot. An archaeologist is transporting a very famous >aztec statue from the museum in Mexico City to an international archeaology >convention in Acapulco. The statue is called "The Feathered Coyote." > >He stops off in a very rural part of Mexico where an elderly artisan lives with >his daughter. They live the life of old rural Mexico. She is >sort of like Lucille >Ball, stereotyping the indian women as not having a lot of >common sense. The archealogist is old friends with the artisans, and >invites them to come to Acapulco to sell their exquisite pottery at >the convention. > >Fearing the statue will get stolen, he ask his pottery friend to make a >replica. >In the confusion, the replica gets swapped for the real one. Unknown to the >archeaologist, the artisan makes several copies for himself to sell. > >Thieves come along and the statue gets stolen. A chase begins. The chase >scenes are so dumb that they are funny, by poking fun at the idea of >a rural indian woman chasing bad guys in Acapulco. They have a gun and >she fights them off with her scarf. She goes paragliding without a harness >and crashes into an 8 story hotel bedroom, just as a man is about to bed >his girlfriend for the first time. > >No one gets hurt in the movie. It was filmed in 1983. You won't hear >this kind of spanish in very many movies. It is the way people talk in >the remote villages of the Sierra Madres. And that is one reason I liked it. > >The sound quality and film quality are not good. But the background >music is good. There was no sex or foul language. > >David Locklear > >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >Visit our website: http://texascavers.com >To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com >For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com > http://home.infionline.net/~tbsamsel/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
